"You didn't come back with me." Sang Zhi explained dryly, with sweaty palms, "Brother Jiaxu happened to be coming to Nanwu, so he came with me. Then my brother drank. He didn't drink, so he helped me pick me up.

Send it back."

Liping said casually: "You drank too?"

Sang Zhi gestured with her fingers: "A little bit."

"Don't drink anymore." Li Ping frowned and said, "Forget it this time, your brother is here, but when you are outside, don't drink if you can. You have to be careful."

Sang Zhi nodded obediently.

The two entered the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, Li Ping mentioned again: "Only, my mother called you once before. Didn't she tell you that Duan Jiaxu was ill and had an operation?"

Sang Zhi groaned blankly, and then quickly remembered: "Yeah, what happened? That was all last year."

"No." Li Ping's voice was very soft, "Mom, just ask."

Li Ping's reaction made Sang Zhi a little uneasy. She didn't know what to say, so she could only nod again, pretending to be calm: "Oh."

The atmosphere in the small elevator room seemed a bit gloomy.

Li Ping chatted with her normally, and there was nothing wrong with her emotions: "You two often meet in Yihe?"

"Only occasionally." Sang Zhi said in a normal tone, "I'll go out for a meal or something."

"Why haven't I seen him come to Nanwu before?" Liping said, "Why did he come suddenly this time?"

Sang Zhi was not very good at lying and just wanted to hide it: "I don't know either, so I didn't ask."

"The same goes for you. Your brother is drunk and can't see you off. Why don't you call your parents?" Li Ping spoke gently and gently, "I have to trouble others to see you back. It's rare to get together."

One meeting."

The elevator arrived just in time.

Sang Zhi followed Li Ping out and said, "His hotel is nearby, so drop by."

Liping: "Yeah."

For some reason, Sang Zhi always felt that she was a little strange. This weird atmosphere seemed to be putting pressure on her, which made Sang Zhi even have the urge to confess. Her heartbeat was beating fast, and she said cautiously: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

?”

"It's okay." Li Ping smiled, took the key and opened the door, "Go and take a bath, it smells like alcohol."

After entering the house, Liping went into the kitchen and continued to pack things.

Sang Rong was taking a bath in the bathroom of the master bedroom.

Sang Zhi wanted to go to Liping to do a favor, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she was kicked out and asked to take a shower and go to sleep. She felt that she could not help, so she had to go back to the room, pick up her clothes, and go into the bathroom.

Thinking about the conversation with Liping, Sang Zhi felt a little uneasy. She always felt that she had discovered something, but it didn't seem to be the case, and her reaction was a little different from what Sang Zhi had imagined.

Is it because she hid it?

Sang Zhi let out a breath, as if a stone had been pressed on her chest, and she was a little panicked. She hesitated whether to take advantage of these two days to tactfully mention this matter to Liping.

It doesn’t feel like something difficult to mention.

Because she was so preoccupied, Sang Zhi didn't know how long she had been taking a bath. When she came out after taking a bath, the light in the living room had been turned off, and only the light outside the bathroom was still on.

With this light, Sang Zhi went to the living room to fill a glass of water. When passing the master bedroom, she heard Liping and Sang Rong seem to be talking about something, but she couldn't hear clearly through a door.

Sang Zhi returned to the room.

She sat on the carpet beside the bed and picked up the mobile phone on the table. When she saw the message from Duan Jiaxu, Sang Zhi opened it, looked at it, and replied: [I'm home, I just took a shower.]

After thinking for a while, Sang Zhi entered hesitantly: [My mother seems to have discovered that we are in love.]

Before she could send it out, there was a knock on the door.

Sang Zhi pressed the power button to turn off the screen, then raised his head, stood up and sat on the bed: "What's wrong? Just come in."

The next moment, the door was opened from the outside.

It's Liping.

She walked in, sat on the edge of the bed, seemed to have thought about it, and said with a serious expression: "Just, mom wants to ask you something."

Sang Zhi put down the phone: "Huh?"

Li Ping asked: "Tell the truth to your mother, are you in love with Duan Jiaxu?"

Sang Zhi licked the corner of her mouth with a calm expression.

The two looked at each other and were in a stalemate for a moment. Sang Zhi reacted like a dying struggle: "Ah?"

"Ah, what?" Li Ping said, "Mom, do you still know what you are thinking? You suddenly took out all the things that have been there for several years, laughed at your phone all day long, and even wanted to go out to eat with your brother for no reason.

barbecue."

"..."

Liping asked: "How long have we been talking about?"

Sang Zhi unknowingly sat upright and whispered, "It won't take long."

"Is that why you didn't go home during the summer vacation?"

"No," Sang Zhi said bravely, "I just heard what my roommate said and just wanted to find an internship and find something to do for myself. When I get home, I will definitely stay at home every day and do nothing.

"

The smile on Li Ping's face gradually faded, and she asked again: "During the summer vacation, will you live in his place or in the dormitory?"

"..." Sang Zhi felt nervous and stumbled, "dormitory! Brother knows about it too... I don't live in his place. Brother also saw it when he came to Yihe last time."

"Mom doesn't want to interfere with you." Li Ping sighed, "I just hope you can protect yourself. After all, girls are more vulnerable to harm in this matter, and you are much younger than him."

Sang Zhi's voice was thin: "I know."

"Where have you two reached?"

"No." Sang Zhi was a little embarrassed and couldn't say it out loud, "It's not like that..."

Li Ping raised her eyes and stared at her, but hesitated to speak.

"Mom, haven't you met Brother Jiaxu many times?" Sang Zhi said kind words to Duan Jiaxu, "As you know, he is not a bad person and is very good to me. Don't worry."

"Only." Li Ping reached out and touched her hair and said seriously, "I just mentioned this matter to your dad. To be honest, neither of us really agree with you being together."

This statement was extremely unexpected by Sang Zhi. She raised her head and was a little at a loss: "Why?"

Liping: "Has he told you about his family's affairs?"

Sang Zhi nodded: "What's wrong?"

"I have mentioned to you before that when your brother was a freshman, he borrowed 30,000 yuan from your brother. Where did your brother come from with so much money? He had to ask your father. But this money is not small money, so we still

Asked why.”

"..."

"So we roughly know the situation in his family." Li Ping said, "Mom doesn't mean to pay too much attention to the family situation. I have seen that child and I know he is a good boy. Because of the 30,000 yuan thing, he has always been right about it.

Our family is very good. The money I gave him when he came to tutor you was all on the coffee table when he came here on the last day."

Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"When you were young, he also took good care of you. I knew that. Your brother played well with him, or you regarded him as your brother. I have no objection." Li Ping sighed again and said slowly,

"But if I want to be your significant other, mom really..."

Sang Zhi became a little anxious and interrupted her: "Mom, you can't think like this."

"I'm not sure about his current situation. But I heard before that his father is in a vegetative state, right?" Li Ping said, "Also, the victim's relatives always come to cause trouble?"

Sang Zhi said honestly: "There is no boss."

"Have you encountered it?"

Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds: "No."

Li Ping understood her reaction instantly. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "It's just that my mother knows that such a thing happened in his family, it has nothing to do with him, and he is indeed pitiful. Maybe I am a bit selfish when I say this,

But I really don’t want my daughter to live such a life with him.”

"..." Sang Zhi said seriously with a lump in her throat, "I don't feel it's hard. He has always been very kind to me. I am very happy to be with him."

"You are still young, and you haven't been together for long," Li Ping said. "And you are still in college, and he has been working for several years. The people and things you come into contact with are different, and you usually don't have anything in common.

, it’s easy to have disagreements.”

"but……"

"Only, mom doesn't want to say these words to make you unhappy."

"..."

Liping stood up and said again: "Mom just doesn't agree, but she won't stop it. You have to think about it yourself. Maybe it's a long time ago for you to say this now. After all, it's just a relationship now."

Sang Zhi whispered: "I have thought about it."
